Ok...I'm no stranger to G bodies, however, this will be my first attempt at a frame notch and large wheel fitment. I've gone over nearly every thread on how to notch and roll fenders but haven't really seen the answer I'm looking for specifically.
So......I want to go with a 15x10 wheel with a 295 50 15 tire on my 78 Malibu. I've already rolled the fenders and will be doing a notch in the frame. I plan on lowering the car where the fender juuuust tucks the rear tire. The million dollar question here is, how much frame notch do I have to do to achieve this? To the seam, past the seam, further?? I will also be moving the tubs in as well. The follow up question is, what backspacing would be best on said set up? Thanks in advance, and if anyone has pictures, please feel free to share.
